All Sophie has to do is ignore this witness's unflappable charm, his unnerving good looks, and a strong, solid presence that commands her attention. It's not easy for David, either. His attraction to this take-charge beauty is turning him inside out.

Lord Perfect (Carsington Family Series)

But these adversaries have more in common than secret, mutual desire. There's a traitor somewhere in the dark ops and now, to find him, David and Sophie must work together-relentlessly, tirelessly, and so intimately it could be damn near fatal. She lives in Florida with her military flyboy husband and their four children.

Lord Rathbourne was another species. He had high standards, a powerful sense of duty—oh, what did the details matter? The scandal sheets never mentioned him. He was perfect. To such a man—as was the case with nearly all responsible men of rank—her only possible role was mistress.

In short, she must erase him completely from her mind. They had reached the fringes of Holborn. Bathsheba must think about purchasing food. This awareness—along with the recollection of the dark eyes and the deep voice and long legs and broad shoulders, and the ache of regret the recollection caused—made her speak more sharply than usual. You are growing too old to be a hoyden. In a few years, you will be ready to marry.

All your future will depend upon your husband. Instantly Bathsheba was sorry.

U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor at UC Berkeley

Her daughter was bold and energetic, adventurous and imaginative. One hated to quell her strong spirit. But one had no choice. Not an aristocrat, no, certainly not. She wanted Olivia to be loved, well treated, and securely provided for. A barrister or a physician or other professional man would be perfect. But a respectable tradesman—a linen-draper or bookseller or stationer—would be acceptable, too. As to wealth, it would be enough if the marriage spared her daughter her own worries and the dispiriting exercise of making a small, erratic income stretch beyond its limits.

If all went well, Olivia would never have to fret about such things. All would not go well unless they moved to a better neighborhood very soon. Lord Perfect 21 All the same, he was not at all prepared when it came up at Hargate House that evening. When the family adjourned to the library afterward, Benedict was astonished to hear Peregrine ask Lord Hargate to look at his drawings from the Egyptian Hall and judge whether or not they were acceptable for one who intended to become an antiquarian.

Lord Hargate rarely wasted tact upon family members. Since he, like the rest of the Carsingtons, regarded Peregrine as a member of the family, he wasted no tact on the boy, either. He deceives everyone else, but I can hardly believe he has deceived you, my lord. The boy needs a proper drawing master. Her eyebrows went up as she turned her dark gaze to Benedict. Rupert looked at him with the same expression, except for the laughter in his eyes. He and Benedict bore a strong physical resemblance to their mother and—from a distance—each other. She and Peregrine had a difference of opinion.

Peregrine had differences of opinion with everybody. Benedict looked up from the Quarterly Review, his face carefully blank, as though his mind had been upon the contents of the journal.

Passion and Pretense

I should say she was beautiful. Said the name was Winshaw. Or was it Winston? Perhaps it was Willoughby. The name fell into the room the way a meteor might fall through the roof. A redheaded girl? Rupert looked at her innocently. She is like one of those irresistible females Homer talks about who lure sailors onto the rocks.

Supposedly they lure men to death through some sort of music, which is ridiculous. I do not understand how music can lure one to anything, except to sleep. Furthermore, if Mrs. A surprisingly apt one. Peregrine made a face. The boy was off like a shot. It was the same story Benedict had heard repeated at least a dozen times this day. And the love had destroyed him. It had cost him his family, his position—everything. Society can be criminally narrow in its views. It was early in the last century, at any rate.

However, at some point, he contrived to get himself dismissed from the service. He abandoned the girl to whom he was betrothed and embarked on a career as a pirate. His father was not joking, however, and the details were appalling. Every last one of them inherited his character. So did their descendants, who had a genius for attracting mates of good family and loose morals. Generation after generation it continues. Bigamies and divorces are nothing out of the way for them. They live mainly abroad these days—to avoid their creditors and to sponge off anyone fool enough to take notice of them.

An infamous family.
